Men lacking a caregiver have greater risk of long-term nursing home placement after stroke.
The purpose of this study was to understand how the availability of a caregiver can affect nursing home placement after ischemic stroke and how this affects different subgroups differently. The investigators found that in men aged 65 and older who have survived an ischemic stroke, the lack of an available caregiver is associated with triple the risk of NHP within 5 years.
